gsx Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Think I've sussed it Quote Link to comment
kitkatman Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 If you have sussed it, would you like to tell the rest of us. I would like to get mine rechromed. Quote Link to comment
gsx Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Take the inner part of the lock off ,held on with two Philips screws , this will give you access to the bottom of the barrel. It's difficult to see but there is a slight recess with a spring loaded brass locking plate . I just wiggled a Stanley knife while gently pushing the barrel out. Don't know if that's clear ,if not I'll post some pictures up Quote Link to comment
Screwriverracing Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Pics would be good, Do you think it is possible if the cap is locked, obviously it's off the tank. Cheers SRR Quote Link to comment

Cheers SRR Yeah it is as that's how I did it , you don't need a key to get the barrel out Cheers jay Quote Link to comment
gsx Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Pictures are in the wrong order but pic 3 shows where the spring loaded brass tab sits pic 2 shows barrel out and locking tab you need to release pic 1 is barrel being re inserted , you just need to leaver the tang in gently and barrel slides home Quote Link to comment
